Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

Chapter 8 8. There are only orders you don’t take, nothing you can’t do well.

Since Ken Akanishi didn't plan to leave, Taiji Sakata naturally followed him.

It was extremely uncomfortable for Mizutani to sit there alone, as if he had exposed his underwear to others, but the two people were unwilling to come up, leaving him sitting alone in the wind and messy. It was very embarrassing, okay?

Following Qing Zhiyuan's instructions, Ishino Mika began to send the long-printed plans to the big bosses one by one.

In the past, we were unable to start the project due to lack of funds. Now that we have DUN’s investment, we naturally have to get the project done quickly.

"Let's take a look. This is the plan we revised after DUN consultation. We will be relying on you for a period of time in the future." Qing Zhiyuan said.

Everyone lowered their heads and started flipping through the information in their hands.

after awhile.

"Huh? Are we going to do Little Blue Tour instead?" Shui Gu suspected that his eyes were wrong.

We promised to make a tear-jerking and healing large-scale ancient fantasy romance RPG?

Why are all your clothes taken off now?

This sound startled Akanishi, who was concentrating on the project, and he almost dropped the notebook to the ground when his fingers shook.

Qing Zhiyuan frowned severely.

This also touched a sore spot between him and Ishino Mika.

"It's Galgame, not Lan You." Qing Zhiyuan corrected.

"Isn't that the same?" In Shuigu's perception, galgame is almost equal to Lanyou.

"It's different. It's just about love, not exposure." Qing Zhiyuan emphasized.

Although what he said is right, the current galgame has not yet developed, and players cannot appreciate the beauty of pure love.

It can only be said that the stereotype of Mizutani is what most people think.

Qing Zhiyuan also hates this, so he doesn't want to take Galgame's order.

"But why did you agree to do such a thing?" Mizutani Takashi couldn't understand either.

"There is no way," Qing Zhiyuan shook his head, "This is the only condition for DUN to invest in us."

"But this way, the game changes. It feels like the two elements of combat and love cannot be mixed together." Mizutani said.

It's over, it's over, pokeni is completely finished.

Nowadays, all the players who play galgame are impatient and want to throw pictures in their faces. You actually want them to play battle?

Isn't this courting death?

Everyone watched the two-hour movie in 10 minutes in fast forward. How could an RPG that takes no less than 10 hours of experience allow players to experience the essence of love in a short period of time?

Confused, President!

but……

Mizutani Takashi was also secretly grateful. Fortunately, he had found a new home, otherwise he would have been unemployed after pokeni went bankrupt.

"Yes, but since I agreed, there is no second way out." Qing Zhiyuan said with determination.

"Is there no way to change it?" Ishino Mika next to me also echoed, "Can we integrate the love interaction part into the game plot, or make it a little easter egg after completing the level?"

"Don't..." Qing Zhiyuan shook his head, "It's not about anything else, the main thing is to be worthy of pokeni's reputation and company brand. For this reason, not only cannot it be simplified, but love must also be integrated into the game's features.

I feel that even if it is a galgame, we can still make it the most exciting and let players feel the soul we put into the game. "

Qing Zhiyuan is not so easy to admit defeat, like——

I have never had such thoughts as "Oh, since this is a love game, let's just go all the way over there", or "We can't let the love part ruin the tone of the whole game, so we should hide the love part".

This guy is just one-minded and wants to be the best at everything he does.

In his brain, he can find a balance between the two.

No, it’s not so much a balance point, but a fusion point.

There are many works that can perfectly integrate tear-jerking games and galgames, so this is entirely possible.

Just like writing a novel, whether it is more business or daily life, there will always be a better combination.

Just in this way, the production of "Onmyoji" will be slightly different from the single-threaded mode of Sword and Fairy.

What Qing Zhiyuan envisions is to make the game more free, so that the male protagonist can choose which heroine to attack through his own actions.

that is it.

Uh-huh!

Ishino Mika nodded vigorously, clenched her fists, and silently encouraged herself in her heart.

…

After the meeting, Mizutani Takashi submitted his resignation.

Qing Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect that this person was quite active in the meeting just now. Why did he leave so hastily now?

However, after hesitating for a moment, Qing Zhiyuan accepted the other party's resignation.

Neon's employment system is a lifetime contract system. If employees do not resign voluntarily, the company cannot fire them at will, otherwise it will have to pay a large amount of compensation.

Since Mizutani and himself couldn't pee in the same lake, it was okay to leave.

The original planning of pokeni, including the chief designer, only had 4 people in total.

There is also a copywriter, a system planner, and a level planner.

There is no way, small companies are like this, one person can do more than two people.

Now that the chief planner is gone, the progress of the project cannot be delayed, and Qing Zhiyuan can only do it himself.

In other words, Qing Zhiyuan will serve as the producer and chief planner of the game for a long time to come.

Fortunately, Qing Zhiyuan's thinking is very clear, and he was a programmer in his previous life, so he has very clear requirements for the preliminary framework in the early stages of the project.

After more than a week of planning, the overall game plan was implemented, requirements began to be continuously output to the program and art, and the project was officially launched.

…

Although they didn’t say it, everyone knew in their hearts——

Maybe this "Onmyoji" will be Pokeni's last game. There will be no sales results, the company will go bankrupt, and they will lose their jobs.

So everyone worked hard and worked overtime.

A year ago I wouldn't have worked so hard.

Mainly because after the neon bubble burst, the economy was really sluggish.

The progress of the project can be described as gratifying.

Even Qing Zhiyuan produced one——

This is not neon, but an illusion in China.

You must know that the average working hours in China's Internet industry in 2023 will be 74 hours per week (internal industry information, unofficial statistics), which can be said to be the king of rolls.

The pokeni is almost done now.

The only difference is that now these people are doing it spontaneously.

The employees work so hard. As the president, Qing Zhiyuan is also busy. He works almost 24 hours a day, not only to control the original painting, but also to guide the planning project team to come up with specific needs. Sometimes he also looks at the program code. Occasionally asking some key questions is really not something ordinary people can handle.

…

One month later.

"No, this music." Qing Zhiyuan took off his headphones and said with a frown.

When making a blue game, the most important thing is that the script and original paintings are good enough to stimulate the impulses of players, especially straight men.

Now that we have all these, the most troublesome thing is the music problem.

A good blue game, ah, a good RPG, the soundtrack accounts for a very high proportion, no less than the art. It is just like watching a movie, you can get an immersive experience, a large part of it is Because the background music draws you into it.

Assuming that the background sound of a horror movie is turned off, the horror experience will be reduced by 50%.

The same is true for [healing] games. If the soundtrack of Fairy Sword is changed to Good Luck or the most dazzling ethnic style, then even if Ling'er dies, you won't be able to cry.

You can imagine how important music is.

But where to find a good soundtrack?
